How can we be brave?

I’m not brave by nature. But often I need to be.
The world needs our courage.
- It needs us to speak up for the powerless.
- It needs us to create peace in chaotic places.
- It needs us to love those who don’t love back.
How can we be brave?

We’re sharing love songs and love words this month at Do Not Depart. Will you join me there today to listen to “You Make Me Brave“?


For me courage often takes the form of trusting God to meet the needs of my family when I serve him as opposed to feeling the need to work, work, work to lay up treasures on this earth. That’s a challenge for me.
That’s a challenge for so many of us, Loren. I appreciate your honesty. Just today I was unable to help a friend in a situation; I just had to trust that God had it and would take care of it all through another avenue. He doesn’t have to have me; I just sometimes get to be used by him.
